                          I agree. The Giants flat out beat them. They controlled the line of scrimmage, protected their QB better, coached better...ect I will also add that I picked the Giants in week 1 of the playoffs.

                          OK, I didnt actually pick them but I did tell everyone to, "watch out for the Giants, they are the darkhorse". And I won $200 on them yesterday because I knew they were going to at least cover the spread.

                        Still a remarkable season for the Pats and Im just glad it was a great Super Bowl. So many are over by the 3'rd quarter that you have to savor the ones that are nail biters to the end. Now Once again I have to survive without football until August.:cry

With the Giant's underdog status(When you consider NE's record over the year) and the close score-the Giants actually coming from behind-This had to be one of the best SB's ever. Too many superbowl's suck because they were blowouts, or too spread in score to even be close. This one had everyone on the edge of their seats, even when NE got the ball back with only :35 on the clock.

I'm pretty sure every other team in the NFL now know's what to do next year. Put pressure on Brady, sack him a few times...and he folds' under the pressure. I doubt the Patriots' will have a year like this one next year.

The play ended, and was blown dead.  But the refs didn't stop the clock at all.

The Patriots choked. This fact remains.


I believe there is a difference between a team choking and getting beaten. The Pats simply got beat by the Giants last night. Choking would have been the Pats beating themselves with penalties etc. :)

The Pats "DID" have a lot of penalties in the game, hold on let me check. I cant find how many penalties each team had tho they had about the same in yards lost. Actually ,thinking about it, The Giants probably had more hurtful penalties. That one "12 player on the field" one I almost puked over. You just dont go to the SB and get that kinda penalty. And wasnt the Pats one TD setup with a Giants penalty?

                       Overall the Refs did a good job and just let the teams play. I cant stand a SB that constantly has penalty flags thrown.

                       When the Pats went for that 4'th down conversion instead of kicking the FG I told my son next to me, "that was a big mistake and its going to cost them".

                       Key stats. 1st downs- Giants 4 rushing and 13 passing. Pats 3 rushing and 17 passing. Giants were 8/16 on 3rd down conversions. Pats were 7/14. Giants had 91 rushing yards, Pats had only 45. Ely was 19 for 34 in the air for 255 yards. Brady was 29/48 for 266 yards.

                        I cant find time of possession but I believe it favored the Giants. The way you beat Brady is to keep the football out of his hands. The Giants "D" had 5 sacks but were always in Brady's face, most of all Strahan. Both teams punted 4 times, "and when was the last time the Pats had to punt as many times as an opponent"?

                      The Pats Welker almost beat the Giants on his own. I cant believe that guy is actually white. Hes to fast for a white guy.

                      I played and coached offense. But Ive always believed that its defense that wins big games for you. The Giants are World champs because of their defense. Just a terrific football game.

Yes, I amazed how quick he got fast too. He'd catch the ball and bam, he was instantly 5 or more yards down the field. He made the defense look like they were standing still. He is annoyingly good.
